The most favored princess in the imperial harem, the delicate little princess of Emperor Kangxi

Harigana refused without a second thought: "I've ridden enough. If you like, you can ride for a while by yourself. I'm tired!"

Borjigit Ujina obviously didn't expect Harigana to be so cold. If it were someone else, they would either want to show off their status and embarrass her, or want to make her an ally and chat with her enthusiastically.

But Harigana's indifference really made her not know how to respond.

"My Queen!"

Wujina wanted to say something, but Harigana had already turned around and left without any courtesy. She could only stand there and look at Harigana's back angrily.

Kangxi was currently chatting with the Empress Dowager.

"Xuanye! After you return this time, do you intend to make Tong Jia the Imperial Noble Consort?"

The Empress Dowager had no objection to this matter. After all, it would not do without a person in charge in the harem! The title of Imperial Concubine sounds nice, but it is still a bit low if you really want to manage the harem well.

"Grandmother, do you have any good suggestions?"

Kangxi did think so at first, but since he named Harigana as the Consort, he never thought about it again.

Now, after hearing the Empress Dowager mention it, she realized that he seemed unwilling to make Tong Jia the Imperial Noble Consort. If Tong Jia was the Imperial Noble Consort, then Harigana would have to live under someone else's control forever.

So when the Empress Dowager asked, he did not agree, but changed the subject.

"Although I don't like Tong Jia very much, there is nothing wrong with her becoming the Imperial Noble Consort! After all, her status is there, and her position in the harem is unmatched.

The most important thing is that the Tonggiya clan has always been loyal, and naming her Imperial Noble Consort can be considered a check and balance on the former dynasty and the harem."

After pondering that evening, the Empress Dowager suddenly realized that something was amiss with her. The more she went against Kangxi, the weaker the bond between them would become.

This was not only detrimental to their relationship as grandparents, but also to the status of Khorchin women in the harem. Therefore, the Empress Dowager really relaxed her mind and wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Kangxi.

Unfortunately, Kangxi has already regretted it, and even when he is chatting with Bumbutai, his mind has already flown to Harigana.

"Xuan Ye, what do you think?" After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she looked at Kangxi, wanting to hear her opinion.

"Grandmother, I will consider this matter carefully! Don't worry, the Tonggiya clan does need to be appeased!"

The Empress Dowager nodded, thinking that the matter was settled and Tong Jia was definitely the Imperial Noble Consort, so she didn't dwell on the issue anymore.

Of course, there was no further mention of the Korchin incident, especially not of Anger. This made Kangxi wary, and he felt that the Empress Dowager should not be so calm.

"Dulan, I want to eat fried rice!"

Harigana suddenly wanted to eat fried rice. She closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, but suddenly saliva was secreted in her mouth, and she couldn't help swallowing.

"Princess, I will prepare it for you right away!"

Dulan didn't notice anything unusual, and Surina didn't know that Harigana didn't like fried rice before, so no one suspected Harigana's abnormal behavior.

After eating and drinking his fill, Harigana was no longer sleepy. He took out the sketchbook he had been reading halfway and leaned against the window, enjoying the cool breeze.

It was not until lunch time that Kangxi got off the Empress Dowager's carriage. However, a minister reported the matter of Taiwan Island, so Harigana did not meet Kangxi for two consecutive days.

Li Dequan was a shrewd man. He reported to Kangxi the incident of Ujina looking for Harigana. However, Kangxi did not say anything, but just frowned tightly.

"Have you arranged everything at the Imperial Palace? You must pay close attention. I remember I have a tribute of fine brocade from the south in my private vault. We'll take it all to Jiaotai Palace when the time comes!"

After Kangxi finished speaking, he felt that the name Jiaotai Hall was not very nice.

"Li Dequan, bring me some rice paper!"

Li Dequan immediately asked someone to bring rice paper, and after preparing everything, he invited Kangxi to come over. He had some vague guesses in his mind, but he didn't know if his guesses were correct!

Half a cup of tea later, Li Dequan walked out of the emperor's tent with a look of shock on his face, holding a brocade box in his arms. He was right, but he didn't expect the emperor to use such a word.

"Jiaojiao! Please don't let me down!"

Kangxi put down the pen in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking. His expression was not as tense as before, as if he had figured something out.

After leaving the Greater Khingan Range and passing Genhe, they finally arrived at the Ergun River Basin.

There are many ethnic minorities here, but the one that impressed Harigana the most was the Ewenki people. (The Ewenki are an ancient ethnic group with a long history. If you want to learn more about them, you can go and look up information. I don't dare to write too much because it involves ethnic issues!)

"Princess, the sunflower you wear around your neck was made for you by the Queen Mother's Negi, right?"

Dulan looked at the winding Ergun River, then turned to look at the sunflower on Harigana's neck and asked him. Photo taken by the author on his mobile phone, Ergun River. "Yes! My mother's Naji made it for me personally, along with a pair of earrings, but they should be in the box Chasu took away!"

Harigana likes this sunflower very much, it is fluffy and very beautiful! The author's own sunflower earrings "No! I know that the princess likes this sunflower, so I left it for you! After you settle down, I will find it for you!"

Dulan looked at Harigana with great pride, and his face was full of expressions saying: Come on, praise me! This made Harigana laugh non-stop.

When Kangxi walked behind Harigana, he heard her laughter and could tell that she was very happy.

Just as he was about to call for help, he heard Harigana say, "My dear Dulan, even though you stayed, I can no longer wear those sunflower earrings!"

Not only Dulan didn't understand, but even Kangxi behind him wanted to know why. But Harigana's next words were like a needle piercing his heart.

Note:

The Ergun River, with its tributaries including the Root River and the renowned Kherlen River, is the source of the Heilongjiang River (its southern source) and marks the current Sino-Russian border. Prior to the Treaty of Nerchinsk in 1689, the Ergun River was an inland river, and only after that did it become the Sino-Russian border.
